Chapter 22: Conspiracy

Liu Jinyi couldn't figure out how there could be two Li Shaotang, and when he came, Li Shaotang obviously told himself that the other one was just that he was also a phantom and really existed, and how could it be that he was injured so badly now that he was just a phantom?

Li Shaotang glanced at Liu Jinyi, and immediately saw the doubt in his eyes, pulled Liu Jinyi up and explained: "Twenty-five years ago, I came here with a group of Tufuzi, and since then, I have become famous for being able to kill people in my dreams!"

"What? You're saying all of this has to do with what's going on here?" Liu Jinyi made a bold guess.

"Yes, the current Li Shaotang is the one who forced me and my grandfather to rob the tomb in the first place, and my grandfather also died in this ancient tomb for protecting me!" Li Shaotang said very sadly.

"So what have you all been through? Looking at your skills, you are no longer on the same level as humans, and even if I have a gilded sword, I can only reach you!" Liu Jinyi said frankly.

Li Shaotang didn't think he was so powerful, but his grandfather's death was always the most important thing in his heart, so for twenty years, he had been investigating the blood-dripping sycamore flower, but this also happened to give the fake Li Shaotang an opportunity.

Now that I think about it, although I can't resurrect my grandfather, but I can finally give an explanation to the dead old man, Li Shaotang wiped the tears in front of his eyes and recalled the events of twenty-five years ago: "This tomb was first discovered by my grandfather, and he worked hard for dozens of days that summer, and finally used a Luoyang shovel to roughly mark the age and size of this tomb." According to him, he later told me that the origin of this tomb was very long, in an era when it was impossible to know how to build a tomb with stones, but the ornaments on the stones here were so lifelike that my grandfather immediately concluded that there must be a living creature in it, and it must not be entered, otherwise he would definitely die. But one day, dozens of people rushed into our house, saying that they had heard that their grandfather had discovered a very strange ancient tomb, and they felt that there must be some extraordinary treasure in it, so they wanted to take their grandfather to rob the tomb, led by the current Li Shaotang. "

"What? He already had the same appearance as Master Li at that time?" Liu Jinyi asked in surprise.

"No, he used to be a very fat man, and it was because of some very strange things that happened to us in the ancient tomb that he became what he is now!" Li Shaotang explained gradually and calmly.

"And what happened to you?" Liu Jinyi guessed that what Li Shaotang and they encountered that time would definitely not be the same as his own a year ago, because this ancient tomb seemed to be constantly changing, full of weirdness and mystery.

"At the beginning, grandpa knew the danger of the ancient tomb, insisted on refusing, and warned them very kindly, but they had already been consumed by the desire for profit, and in a fit of anger they tied me up, threatening grandpa to be their guide and go to the ancient tomb with them, but I know that they actually value grandpa's knock unlocking skills that have never missed in the tomb, which can be said to be known to everyone in the inverted fighting world at that time, although dozens of them have been mixed in it for more than ten years, but only know that the tomb is full of mechanisms, Every step of the way can be killed, as for how to crack it, no one has learned it so far, which is why they have to take grandpa there no matter what, but although grandpa is powerful, but the ancient tomb is even more weird!"

Liu Jinyi listened attentively to Li Shaotang's narration, and couldn't help but think of the last time he was ordered by the emperor to go to fetch blood sycamore flowers, not only did he lose more than 70 people, but even Wanyin didn't know where he disappeared in the end, and his mood suddenly became sad.

"That day, my grandfather was forced to agree to their request, but only if I was left to wait outside the grave! But the group of people were afraid that grandpa would use the mechanism in the tomb to deceive, so they took me with them, and in order to ensure that grandpa really worked for them, they put me in the front every time there was a hidden weapon, and grandpa had to do his best to crack it, along the way due to grandpa's caution, we went very smoothly, but just when we were about to approach the main tomb, the weird appeared! No matter how many times we walked through the last tomb door, there was always a wall between us and the main tomb, and everyone started to tremble, including Grandpa!"

"And what happened next?" At this time, Liu Jinyi asked impatiently.

Immediately after that, everyone felt a terrible chill behind them, and something was standing there, but no one dared to turn back! But a second later, a heart-rending shout broke the extremely quiet deadlock, and the body of the last person was torn in half by the zombies, and the grandfather reacted quickly, turned over and fired two shots in an instant, and shouted to everyone, 'Run!' I also ran after the team, but no matter how we passed through the back door at this time, we were still in that tomb, shouting and waving, only one minute there were five people left, grandpa saw that the zombie was rushing towards me, and kicked it over with a flying leg with all his might, and then grandpa hurriedly beckoned the remaining three people to hold down the zombie's legs and feet, and he took a knife to cut the zombie's neck, and it took fifteen minutes to completely cut off the zombie's neck! But then we found something on the zombie!"

"Dripping blood sycamore flowers?!" Liu Jinyi said.

"That's right, it's the thing that the fake Li Shaotang forged the emperor's order to let you pick up a year ago!"

"What?! The imperial order turned out to be a fake Li Shaotang!" At this time, Liu Jinyi thought of Wanyin, who died because of this, and his teeth itched with hatred, but after thinking about it, he asked again: "How can the emperor's order be forged, besides, I also mentioned the matter of the blood sycamore flower to the emperor afterwards, and I didn't find any flaws!"

"That's because they've been prepared in advance, and they'll never let you know the truth until they really get your gilded knife!" Li Shaotang then explained.

"Then they can let the emperor order me to pay it, and they don't have to bother so much at all!" Liu Jinyi was still puzzled.
